The notable characteristic of this 12th century church (in my humble opinion) resides in this inscription engraved on the frontispiece of the entry "The French people recognize the Supreme Being and the immortality of the soul". This inscription dates from 1794 at a time when the old religions were suppressed in favor of the cult of Reason (fall 1793-spring 1794) then the cult of the Supreme Being (spring 1794-summer 1794), and finally Theophilanthropy .
In the spring of 1794, Robespierre and his colleagues from the Committee of Public Safety had the Hébertists successively arrested, then Danton and the Indulgents, measures followed by the condemnation and execution of the leaders of the two "factions". He then contributes to putting an end to the policy of dechristianization and makes vote, as rapporteur, the decree of 18 Floréal Year II, by which "the French people recognize the existence of the supreme being and the immortality of the soul. ".
A very small number of churches throughout France have kept track of this period.

Just opposite, on the other side of the road, the castle of Paley, from a first fortress of the 12th century. Some vestiges of this primordial building still remain inside the courtyard. The main main building, destroyed under Charles VI, was subsequently rebuilt, to be finally extensively altered in the 19th century. The part visible from the road dates from the 18th century.

Very nice church along a very nice road.
Very bucolic place with pretty medieval houses.
